Break in Online GMAT

Question

Hey, 
I am taking the gmat online this week (the oldest version, with fixed parts and without breaks). I see that there is no 8 minute break between quant and verbal, but there is a 5 minute one between verbal and IR. Does anyone know whether there are still instructional pages for the verbal portion that take place after the quant section right? Anyone know the time allotted to “read” those instructions? I’m hoping to get a quick break as a slowly click through those.

Thanks a lot =)

Not sure if there is a break to read through instructions. Good luck

Yes, There are instructional pages.

Yes, there is a break of 30 seconds before the commencement of the Verbal Section. A break is provided to read out the instructions before Verbal Section. The instructions don't contain any valuable information that you require, so you can use the break to gather yourself and relax your mind. But being a 30-second break, the break is too short to relax. 
If you can finish Quants before time and have 5-10 minutes to spare, then don't submit your last question. If you will submit the last question, you will be directed to Verbal in no time. So, it's better not to submit the last Quant question before time, instead utilise those last 5-10 minutes as a break to relax. The Verbal directly after Quants feel tiring and drains your mind.

Yes. "Using" the time you have left on a section before confirming your last answer can be helpful.
